The suggested tagging is IMHO "tagging for the renderer". For tagging
sidewalks it would be sufficent to tag them with footway=sidewalk
without the highway-tag. In analogy to this tagging we would
optionally be mapping an ordinary street as dual carriageway and tag
each with highway=residential, oneway=yes, residential=lane.


Well, no. Sidewalks are generally separated from the roadway by at least a
curb.


Well. We have a similar situation with "highway=cycleway" or
"cycleway=track". Not everybody is ready to trace multiple parallel
ways just for micromapping.

Nobody said you have to draw sidewalks. The question is whether highway=footway is appropriate when a sidewalk is drawn.
